Hello, I've had my pc for a year now and have had to use a lynksys AE3000 wireless adapter in order to get internet connection as my modem is at the exact opposite part of the house to my pc. I play an online multiplayer game called dota 2 frequently. I am usually able to get a decent enough connection to play it without problems even with other family members using netflix, web browsing, etc. The past week my connection has started to "spike" frequently and I lose connection for a few minutes usually when I'm playing dota 2, watching youtube or netflix. The problem is usually solved by taking out and plugging back in my adapter but this is getting very annoying as it takes another few minutes to get back online and the connection only lasts a few more minutes before it goes back down. This has been happening only to my computer and happens even when no one else is using the wi-fi. I have tried updating my adapter's driver, restarting my modem router (Windstream F@ST 1704N) and my computer too but still nothing has changed. Any help is appreciated and ask for any additional details you may need thanks!
